NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals from Utah Lake Lehi, 8.2 miles from Bluffdale. A normal winter, not this winter's forecast. Snow is weighed at 6.24 pounds a cubic foot, fresh and fairly dry; wet spring snow can weigh three times that.
- Days with snow on the ground come from a second nearby station, because the closest one does not record snow depth.
